Справедливость для всей ИТ-сферы: почему нам нужен официальный «День специалиста информационных технологий»

На сегодняшний день сфера ИТ в России — это огромная индустрия, где работают сотни тысяч специалистов. Официально государство признало значимость этой профессии еще в 2009 году, когда был учрежден День программиста (Указ Президента РФ № 1034).Но даже тогда эта формулировка сужала всю индустрию до одной специальности. Ведь работа ИТ-систем — это заслуга не только программистов. Здесь одинаково важны системное администрирование, администрирование сетей, информационная безопасность техподдержка, и другие спец Read more
